In this episode, I talk about recent releases, my thoughts on some upcoming drops, StockX defending their authentication program, Adidas suing Nike over patents, and bot instances issue. For the main topic I give an update on Zadeh Kicks and some analysis on why it was a Ponzi scheme (allegedly), why it collapsed, the effect it's had on resell, winners and losers, and finally some cold hard lessons learned from all this. Oh there's also socks. Fun show, thanks for listening!
